Book excerpt: When writing about most any topic, there's always the question of what to write and what to leave out. It is my full intention to put into this concise autobiography as much information as I can, hoping that at least parts of it will be beneficial to someone at sometime, and perhaps help them or another in their life journey--for we are all here to help one another. I praise God for the ability to read and write, which can often be taken for granted in our modern world. I've always had a great fondness for them, and always wanted to be both a better, more wildly read reader, as well as a much better, more widely read writer. Instead of making this autobiography one long chronological prose without chapters--which at first I thought I might do, I soon came to the realization that someone might want more organization so that they could turn right to a particular category and read about a specific topic and/or retrieve certain information. In addition, I soon found that a long chronological text would be more difficult and not serve my purposes as well. Anyway, I feel that for a work of this size, nature and content, chapters are certainly a must. And although some of the material might be stated more than once, I prefer that rather than run the risk of omitting something. In places, this book is not of any particular design or sequence, except maybe in the beginning where it does somewhat follow a resemblance of chronological order, and within each chapter there is some chronological pattern. However, a good deal of the book isn't in any intentional format or sequence of significance or type of specific arrangement, although I did try to give it what organization I could. Also, in no way is anything written here in any particular manner meant to favor anyone or any events of any kind. I just simply wrote down what I could when I could the best I could. And I did so in more of a freehand style in which I didn't do much editing or rewriting (mostly in the journal) because in that way readers could obtain more of an idea of my personality--for what it's worth. My motivation for writing this autobiography is perhaps somewhat selfish, yet altruistic. I wanted to state as much truth about myself as I could so that others might have a view of what my life has been like, and enable them to better understand themselves and their world. It has also helped me to see more clearly myself and others, as well as our world. At the same time, I was interested in writing down what I could for all of my children and future generations so that they would have something from me that might be of benefit to them someday and give them a sense of being, import, and connectedness. Also, this book is meant to impart some of our ancestry, as well as some of the lessons that I've learned, or haven't learned, in my lifetime--for what they're worth. I started writing an autobiography in my late twenties; but after reading the short document several years later, I didn't like what I'd written or the way it was done. So in my forty-ninth year (2004) I began this autobiography, which I plan to add to as time goes by, God willing and I am able. There is of course always the question of time and how much to devote to what. Anyway, I feel that one part of a well-rounded life is writing a quality autobiography, and not necessarily for any other reason except oneself, which reminds me that "An unexamined life is not worth living." Yes, a famous quote from the great scholar Socrates (470-399 BC), who is one of my true earthly heroes, along with all the others: my extended family, Grandma Kuhns, Moses, Shakespeare, Newton, Thomas Edison, Einstein, Carl Sagan, Jacque Cousteau, Gandhi, Mother Teresa, and many, many, many others. And of course my Heavenly heroes: God, the Father; Jesus; the Holy Spirit, and all the angels. Naturally, I dedicate this book to my family--including all ancestors and future generations. Peace, love and happiness to you all.

Download or read book Robert Armin and Shakespeare s Performed Songs written by Catherine A. Henze and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2017-06-26 with total page 217 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After Robert Armin joined the Chamberlain's Men, singing in Shakespeare's dramas catapulted from 1.25 songs and 9.95 lines of singing per play to 3.44 songs and 29.75 lines of singing, a virtually unnoticed phenomenon. In addition, many of the songs became seemingly improvisatory—similar to Armin's personal style as an author and solo comedian. In order to study Armin's collaborative impact, this interdisciplinary book investigates the songs that have Renaissance music that could have been heard on Shakespeare's stage. They occur in some of Shakespeare's most famous plays, including Much Ado About Nothing, Twelfth Night, Hamlet, and The Tempest. In fact, Shakespeare's plays, as we have them, are not complete. They are missing the music that could have accompanied the plays’ songs. Significantly, Renaissance vocal music, far beyond just providing entertainment, was believed to alter the bodies and souls of both performers and auditors to agree with its characteristics, directly inciting passions from love to melancholy. By collaborating with early modern music editor and performing artist Lawrence Lipnik, Catherine Henze is able to provide new performance editions of seventeen songs, including spoken interruptions and cuts and rearrangement of the music to accommodate the dramatist's words. Next, Henze analyzes the complete songs, words and music, according to Renaissance literary and music primary sources, and applies the new information to interpretations of characters and scenes, frequently challenging commonly held literary assessments. The book is organized according to Armin's involvement with the plays, before, during, and after the comic actor joined Shakespeare's company. It offers readers the tools to interpret not only these songs, but also vocal music in dramas by other Renaissance playwrights. Moreover, Robert Armin and Shakespeare's Performed Songs, written with non-specialized terminology, provides a gateway to new areas of research and interpretation in an increasingly significant interdisciplinary field for all interested in Shakespeare and early modern drama.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first of two volumes chronicling the history and role of music in the African American experience, Nothing but Love in God’s Water explores how songs and singers helped African Americans challenge and overcome slavery, subjugation, and suppression. From the spirituals of southern fields and the ringing chords of black gospel to the protest songs that changed the landscape of labor and the cadences sung before dogs and water cannons in Birmingham, sacred song has stood center stage in the African American drama. Myriad interviews, one-of-a-kind sources, and rare or lost recordings are used to examine this enormously persuasive facet of the movement. Nothing but Love in God’s Water explains the historical significance of song and helps us understand how music enabled the civil rights movement to challenge the most powerful nation on the planet.
